Ezekiel 30:13-19
New King James Version
13 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“I will also (A)destroy the idols,
And cause the images to cease from [a]Noph;
(B)There shall no longer be princes from the land of Egypt;
(C)I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
14 I will make (D)Pathros desolate,
Set fire to (E)Zoan,
(F)And execute judgments in [b]No.
15 I will pour My fury on [c]Sin, the strength of Egypt;
(G)I will cut off the multitude of [d]No,
16 And (H)set a fire in Egypt;
Sin shall have great pain,
No shall be split open,
And Noph shall be in distress daily.
17 The young men of [e]Aven and Pi Beseth shall fall by the sword,
And these cities shall go into captivity.
18 (I)At [f]Tehaphnehes the day shall also be [g]darkened,
When I break the yokes of Egypt there.
And her arrogant strength shall cease in her;
As for her, a cloud shall cover her,
And her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus I will (J)execute judgments on Egypt,
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”

Ezekiel 30:13-19
American Standard Version
13 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the [a]images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. 14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments upon No. 15 And I will pour my wrath upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. 16 And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries [b]in the day-time. 17 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity. 18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall [c]withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. 19 Thus will I execute judgments upon Egypt; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
